Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Experience the most immersive flight simulator with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the gold standard in realistic aviation gaming. Built on Asobo's proprietary engine and powered by Bing Maps' two petabytes of cloud data, this aviation simulation delivers unparalleled fidelity across the entire globe.

Fly from 37,000 real-world airports and explore 2 million cities and towns rendered with photorealistic detail. Azure artificial intelligence transforms raw map data and photogrammetry into stunning 3D models of nature and urban landscapes, complete with 1.5 billion buildings and 2 trillion individual trees. Every element of your flight environment responds authentically—watch waterfalls cascade with the wind direction, see tree leaves rustle in real-time, and observe vehicles moving naturally across the terrain. This attention to environmental detail creates a living, breathing world that redefines what a flight simulator can be.

The flight model processor simulates thousands of surfaces and 3D forces with precision, while real-world weather integration ensures conditions match your actual flying location. Flying over the United Kingdom? Expect authentic rain and turbulence that affects your aircraft handling. Dynamic seasons, time of day cycles, and weather variations transform your experience with every flight, making each journey unique and immersive.

Customization and depth are central to the experience. The in-game marketplace provides continuous expansion through regular updates and content drops. Developers have introduced 41 new aircraft and 46 updated products including airports and avionics add-ons, giving you endless variety. Core simulation updates refine flight systems, enhance autopilot stability, improve graphical immersion, and strengthen navigation and ATC systems—especially critical for instrument-based IFR flights. Streamlined user interfaces and comprehensive accessibility options ensure pilots of all skill levels can engage with the simulation.
